How to design alerts people actually read

Why most alerts get muted, and the four rules we use so every Metrio alert gets opened.

Why alerts get muted

Too many, too vague, and nobody knows who should act.

Four rules

  • Group related alerts into one message
  • Always say why, not only what
  • Send it to the owner, not the whole company
  • Show the accounts behind the number
One bad deploy should be one message, not forty.
